Hello, TimeNutters-- I have used the "tip-of-the-tongue" test for determining the state of charge of batteries for many years when my bench meters are elsewhere. The strength of the bitter taste is proportional to the voltage and I have gotten pretty good at estimating the charge condition of the ubiquitus little 9 volt batteries as well as a few others to within +/- one volt or two. I recommend not using this procedure for anything over a 12 volt battery as above that level the bitter taste turns into an unpleasant bite.
